We love finding hidden gems for free camping, and Coonabarabran Golf Course is a prime example! We arrived early, set up, grabbed our tickets, and joined an evening chat at 6:30 pm led by some of Australia’s top astrophysicists. The talk provided stunning insights into the skies above, and it was a treat to hear their views on cutting-edge space science.

We are leaving after work on Friday and will undoubtedly arrive at camp well after dark. Work to Grassy is almost a four hour trip. At this time of year the sun set at 17:35 and will be dark by 18:00
We need to run through pre trip checklists and not assume that all is where we think it is. First coffee. Can we wake and make a brew. Then clothing and food. Are all the kitchen requisites in the drawer? Do I have my favourite cup?

Hello, fellow campers and travellers! We’re excited to share with you our recent adventure with our new Nissan Xtrail, a hybrid electric car that is perfect for exploring the great outdoors. It’s very fuel-efficient and smooth to drive, and it has plenty of space for both of us and pulls (Wottie) the teardrop camper trailer as if it were not there.

We bid farewell to the enchanting Gippsland lakes region and hit the road with our cozy teardrop camper. Our destination was Beowa, a hidden gem of a national park, where we booked a spot at the Bittangabee Campground. The drive was bumpy and slow, but it was worth it when we arrived at our beautiful campsite. We had a stunning view of the inlet, which was only a short walk away. We also had easy access to the somewhat challenging 32 km light to light walk, a trail that follows the coast and offers breathtaking scenery. We spent three nights here, exploring the north and south sections of the trail on different days.

A long drive of about 650 km was ahead of us. We left our camp in Canberra early on a warm Tuesday morning, and drove north to the Gungahlin Aquatic Centre to stretch out, relax and get the blood moving before a day of sitting in the car. We always try to get to a fitness centre every few days when travel through a town, this way we can avail ourselves of the showers and at the same time keep actively working on our fitness. The local pool is also a fantastic way to meet locals.

We left after work on Friday for two nights in Byron Bay. It was a birthday trip. We at tinycamper.blog live only 20 mins from “The Bay” So it was a quick 20 minute trip down from work. We didn’t need to pack much. No fires allowed at the park, and we planned on eating at the restaurants in town, in fact the reason we decided to camp out only 20 mins from our abode, was that we enjoy a few refreshments and to not have to drive home, well a quick walk along the beautiful beachfront would lead us straight to the teardrop, as well as boost our step count a little bit more that normal.
Setup at Clarkes Beach Caravan Park. Now called Reflections Byron Bay
A Weekend Getaway to Grassy Head means leaving early as possible on friday because of the 300 km 3.5 hour drive south. So everything needs to be packed and ready Thursday night which will enable a timely departure for work on Friday morning.
